One of the things I regularly come across while looking around the Internet for BABD related materials are the wallpapers and promotional artworks of games that were discontinued without ever leaving obscurity.
Perhaps one day someone will be brave enough to study these artifacts of bygone projects, quantify their traits and write an academic paper about the common failings. Then perhaps we will finally have an answer to the question of whether it’s a good sales idea to have ridiculous double standards in your gender representation.

Time to add to Langrisser’s sins against basic sanity in costume design
This is Priestess Mariel Sarlus. I mean, I know nuns are often sexualized anyways, but really?!?
One of the things I always find truly baffling about a lot of these designs is they’re not trying to find integrate the fantasy setting with the sexy design… they’re just cutting windows and adding clothes you’d find in a modern day lingerie catalog (or sex shop).
I mean… unless I’m supposed to believe that part of her role as priestess is to set some sort of example for pubis grooming.
